Here is some more of my work. Please criticize freely, for this is just a box for me. Let me know what you think of the design/construction.

These are just a few of the pics I've uploaded (would've had more but net is being crappy).

the pic does show screws.

Also, screws aren't necessary. They are just a way to hold the wood together while the glue is drying.

I'd like to add that these are for my 12" Adire Shivas in case anyone was wondering.

Today, the plan is to put the top on my 2nd box along with cutting the sub-cutout and terminal cutouts.

I like this guy, he uses hardcore MS Paint //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Simplicity is the best way to create a good product.

Also, the enclosure looks solid as hell, nice work bro.

Um, care to explain? I love it how people who have been here for weeks think they know how the older members are.

Thanks PV. I used sketchup, but at the time I couldnt figure out how to make it look 3 dimensional. As for the box being solid: This is the first time I've used a brace, and it does wonders.

As of now, my internet still won't let me upload onto my photobucket. Boxes are very near completion. All I need to do is mount my terminals and the subs themselves. That and carpet, but I'm too broke to get carpet and contact cement.

More pics to come...hopefully. More suggestions/comments are welcome.
